Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
But, of course, becoming a diamond is not a cakewalk. The journey to the top
requires the MLM leaders to go all out with their promotional methods and bring
as many people into the fray as possible. They have to learn or devise MLM
strategies that work and prospect with all their heart and soul. There are lots of
teething problems in someone's MLM career and rejection is one of the most
rampant of these. MLM leaders have to learn to overcome these problems to
come to the top.
It is said that in the MLM business, it is not the business itself that counts, but it is
the people who are working with the business. This is definitely true because,
after all, MLM is a people networking game. The leader has to be charismatic
and has to inspire other people. That is the reason most MLM top leaders are
excellent motivators and personality development coaches too. This is a
business that improves people as well as brings in money.
All said, one of the most important traits that an MLM leader must have to
become a diamond is compassion. He or she must know that everyone is
working hard and as a leader, they must inspire their downlines to work harder,
even go all out to cooperate with them in their prospecting. After all, if the
downlines grow, the leader will be promoted upward in the chain. This is one of
the most unique features of MLM – here one does not get promoted by stepping
on subordinates; instead it is the downlines who grow and push the leader
upward.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Mike Dillard is one of the topmost multilevel marketers in the world today. He is
widely known as the author of the book Magnetic Sponsoring, which speaks
about the concept of 'people attract people'. He is also the author of MLM Traffic
Formula, a book that tells people about how to implement technical methods to
hone their marketing campaign over the Internet. The MLM Traffic Formula,
which is written for amateur as well as expert network marketers alike, speaks in
detail about methods such as search engine optimization, lead generation and
various Internet marketing methods.
The one unique aspect about Mike Dillard is that he has an MLM prospecting
company of his own. This company, Dillard Inc., organizes his complete network
marketing campaign. The company provides a feature called as the Contact
Management where they prospect people with appointments and reminders,
systemizing the whole campaign. The company also provides incentives for
people who bring in other people into the network. These ideas are Mike Dillard's
creations, each one of which has become a kind of lesson for other marketers to
plan their networking strategies.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Mike Dillard began his company with just 35 reps to its name, which was
considered to be an unwise move by many because the number was too small to
start a company. However, Mike Dillard had his MLM head screwed firmly in its
place and he did not entertain the criticism he got from others around him. His
obstinacy did bear fruit. He implemented his own methods and within a few
months the number of reps with Dillard Inc. increased from a measly 35 to a very
commendable 500. Dillard kept on inspiring and motivating his members to
achieve greater glories. In the year when he got 500 reps to join him, he made
sales accounting for more than half a million dollars.
Today, Mike Dillard focuses greatly on his ever-growing company and also
enjoys his role as a multilevel marketing consultant. People who approach him
benefit with the new ideas he devises and implements, almost always reaching
success in the process.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
People within the MLM world cannot ignore the name of Mike Dillard who is
considered to be one of the leading MLM innovators and planners of the world.
He is best known to the world as the author of the book Magnetic Sponsoring,
which had turned the old MLM concept on its face and brought some refreshing
new ideas into this marketing world. The basic idea of the book, which is now
highly synonymous with Mike Dillard's name itself, is that people attract people.
Dillard has brought home the idea in the book that when a person joins a
network, it is not the business that he or she is looking at, it is the leader that
creates the greatest impression. For that reason, the concept of 'people attract
people' applies here. This is what magnetic sponsoring is all about.
Mike Dillard has spent a major part of his life explaining how it is not the business
but the people in the business that matter. With the book, he has made is lucidly
clear to the world that it really is so. The book, a 40-page manual actually, is a
step-by-step description of how someone can go ahead and become a magnetic
- 11 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
sponsor, which is something that has the real potential of bringing people into the
network.
His company Dillard Inc. has become one of the top MLM networks in the world.
This is a unique aspect about his MLM prospecting too. Most multilevel
marketers go and individually solicit people to join their networks; Mike Dillard
does it with a complete company to help him in the game. Here, one of the
flashes of Dillard's innovative game plan can be seen. When a marketer has a
company, people are definitely going to put more trust into going along with their
business.
Though network marketing is his forte and his game, Mike Dillard has seldom
played by the rules. He attributes his success to that fact. He mentions in his
books that a marketer has to constantly innovate so that he or she can keep
above the competition. The other reason for the innovation is that prospects have
to see something new in order to begin trusting in the marketer. This is
something that he has used quite often.
Mike Dillard has introduced several new concepts in the world of Internet
marketing, all of which have met with a lot of acceptance and their share of
controversy too. Apart from magnetic sponsoring, he is also the brainchild of a
similar concept called as attraction marketing.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
One of the things that Daegan Smith is the most talked about for is his
unique network marketing strategy. He maintains that he has earned
his thousands of prospects (nearing 4,000) without calling up a single
lead. He has never used the dubious and annoying method of cold
calling prospects and this has been his special forte. In fact, the MLM
world calls Daegan Smith The King of Never Having to Call a Single
Lead.
- 13 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
There are many methods that Daegan Smith adopts in his online
network marketing practices, including lead generation and promoting
products through sales pages. His sales pages have attracted attention
because there is always something new that is sold through them. Just
recently, his sales page promoting The True MLM Wealth Online CD
became a hot favorite among MLM fans. This program tells people of
Smith's methods of prospecting clients to induce them to join the
network, in a way that it always bears results. Smith has his own huge
networks to show people that his methods work.
- 14 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Every popular multilevel marketer has their own method that has brought them to
the top pedestal of the networking game. For Daegan Smith, it is his humility that
has led him here. Daegan Smith is one of the multilevel marketing world's
youngest diamonds, but still his approach is a down-to-earth one, one that wants
to teach other people how to get into the game as well. That explains the
hundreds of articles that Daegan Smith has written and posted for free on the
Internet. These are proving to be a source of education for people who wish to
get into the MLM game.
But there is a lesson to be learnt here. Even these articles that Smith has made
freely available on the Internet are part of a whole campaign. They are inducing
readers to join Smith's business because they are assured that he is an expert in
the field and will lead them the right way. Article marketing is one strategy that all
MLM leaders must adopt.
Daegan Smith is also an avid blogger. His blog is constantly updated with
information and thus ranks highly. With bookmarking and "Tell a Friend" features
on his blog, Smith has made sure that the number of targeted leads he gets
increases. This is an important arm of his marketing ploy.
However, Daegan Smith promotes himself as The King of Never Having to Call a
Single Lead. His method is different from that of most marketers, because here is
- 15 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
a concerted effort never to call a lead that is not interested. Instead, he makes
sure that interested leads come to him through his lead generation techniques.
This is what brings more people into the network rather than blindly chasing a
list.
One more points about Daegan Smith is that he knows that his idea works for
MLM and thus he markets that too, thus building up a healthy flow of residual
income. His sales page selling his concept is available at
http://www.daegansmith.com/ where he sells the course for a very low sum of
$37. This has enabled more people to buy his product, creating a win-win
situation for him as well as the buyers of his MLM strategies.
Looking at Daegan Smith's methods, the lesson learnt is that traditional methods
such as cold calling a list of leads has no real results. Since these leads may not
be interested in the idea at all, it is usually a wasted exercise. Instead, tapping
the resources of the Internet can make more sense for increasing the network
and also make some residual income on the side.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
He stays in Charlotte with his wife Birdie Yager. The strangest point
about the Dexter Yager story is that people in his hometown do not
know the Yagers much. This is a clear indication of how Yager has
tapped the global market, not remaining restricted within his local
- 17 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
But Yager has not restricted his brazen attitude to only his Amway
coworkers. In a very famous speech made to his Amway downline, he
criticized President Bill Clinton's inaugural address as nothing more
than a pagan ritual.
- 18 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
When Dexter Yager started out with Amway, 31 years ago, the Internet had not
arrived in the world yet. Those were the times when people went all out, literally,
to promote MLM networks. Yager did much of the same. He was and still is an
effective speaker and, more importantly, an inspirer. People who come in contact
with him cannot resist being touched in some way or the other. This is what
proved to be the biggest advantage to Dexter Yager's business plans. His
charisma was clearly apparent to his prospects, who went with whatever he said.
To add to it, Yager kept consolidating his expert position through many ways. He
has gone the whole hog when it comes to MLM promotion. He has written books,
released tapes, given seminars, spoken at conferences, traveled across the
world, inspired his downlines with incentives, held them with a tight rein when
needed and giving them the liberty when needed… he has done it all. Most
importantly, he has told his downline time and again that people attract people
and if the network has to succeed, they have to develop the potential in
themselves to bring in other people to the network.
For most people in Amway, Yager has been a kind of rebel. One of his policies
has been to downgrade retail sales and concentrate on building the network
itself. This was not acceptable to the head honchos of Amway in those times.
The common idea was that sales bring in direct profits; building networks could
take a long time materializing. Though he was branded as a heretic by some,
- 19 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Yager persisted in his human-building approach. And that has actually paid off,
because Amway has a very strong network around the world today and this is
actually what is bringing them the sales. If they had concentrated only on direct
selling back then, Amway could have fizzled out like most MLMs of those times.
It is difficult to emulate someone like Dexter Yager, but certainly his methods
could be inspirational and even motivational to people who are planning to get
into MLM. Learning more about his strategies is like an open course on the
subject.
At the end of the day, there is definitely something we all can learn from ‘old
school’ network marketing… if Dexter can do it, so can we.

When he was still in his fledgling days, Jerry Clark started his company
named Club Rhino, Inc. He is one of the few persons who carry on
MLM prospecting in an organized manner through his company. The
- 21 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Apart from Club Rhino, Inc., of which he is the CEO and President,
Jerry Clark is also the founder of the AMG Business Group. Another
institute that is attributed to him is The International Academy of
Rhinology (No, it has nothing to do with fixing noses!).
Most of Jerry Clark's speeches have been recorded in audio format and
are commercially available in most leading stores around the world. He
has about a hundred audio works to his credit. The two bestsellers in
his oeuvre are High Achievement Network Marketing and The Magic of
Colors, both of which have garnered him a lot of media attention.
- 22 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
One of the youngest to become a millionaire among the leading MLM leaders
today, it is very interesting to see what has made Jerry Clark the success that he
is today. This humble Texan has come a long way since he earned his first
million when he was barely 20. Since then, he has organized his strategies
several times over, made a company to promote his campaign – Club Rhino, Inc.
– written a cartload of books and made audio manuals about MLM, spoken
across the world about MLM, given advice to new entrants and MLM gurus alike
and generally gone from strength to strength. It is interesting to check out his
methods because this is one guy who has tried it all – online and offline methods
both – and diverted the strategies to build success for him. And that has paid off
richly.
The first thing that Jerry Clark went about getting was information. He educated
himself profoundly on every aspect of multilevel marketing and when he was
doing so, he always asked himself the question, "How will I be able to use this
method in my own campaign? Will it work for me?" This analytical attitude has
definitely helped him much because he has been able to innovate and custom
design some existing plans so that they could better suit his purposes.
Like most other popular multilevel marketers of the world today, Jerry Clark has
also held the belief that it is personality development that works in the long run.
People who are going to join an MLM network do so more because of the trust
and confidence that they develop in the person that promotes the idea to them.
- 23 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Most of these people are completely unaware of what the business is about and
just go ahead with the leader. Knowing that, Jerry Clark has always maintained
the belief that for an MLM enterprise to succeed, the improvement has to begin
from the leadership level. This is what will induce downlines to work better. Clark
has spoken a lot about personality development and motivation, both of which he
holds as important ingredients of a successful multilevel marketing campaign.
Implementing Clark's ideas could certainly be a step in the right direction if you
have an MLM venture. Personal development is an important aspect in any walk
of life. It makes people confident and this confidence rubs off on the prospects,
making them see the whole opportunity in a brand new light.

building. His two-year long association with this program gave him a
lot of knowledge of the field and piqued his interest to follow it
fulltime. His unique blend of MLM uses his innate knowledge of
marketing blended with the Internet marketing experience that he has
had.
Richard Quek has dabbled with other fields apart from multilevel
marketing. Because of his background, he is also an active Internet
marketer. He is also keenly interested in motivation. Among his
favorite and most inspiring books, he lists Think and Grow Rich! by
Napoleon Hill and See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar and Al Mayton.
He has also prepared and marketed a home study course for Internet
marketing called as the TIMM eSeminar
(http://www.TIMMeSeminar.com) where he emphasized the
importance of list building practices to newbie Internet marketers.
TIMM eSeminar stood for The Internet Money Making eSeminar.

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Richard Quek has used some conventional and some not-so conventional
methods for his MLM practices. He started with email marketing and even used
bulk mailing software applications. He built an opt in list and provided
autoresponder features to track the responses automatically.
When email marketing started drawing flak, he switched over to other practice
that would prevent his emails from being directed into spam. He used a desktop
application so that his emails wouldn't land in spam folders. However, he had to
change this method also because he found out that the average Internet user is
not so savvy so as to download and use desktop applications.
However, Quek still uses newsletters that he uploads to the desktop applications.
He notifies people by email and makes sure that his newsletters are of good
quality. He has used spam filters in the past and still uses them to ensure that his
emails do not land in spam folders. He uses Ezinecheck.com to make sure of
that.
- 28 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
One of the main reasons why Richard Quek became a big name on the Internet
was because he collaborated with other marketers on the Internet who were into
the same kind of activity as him. He collaborated with them through joint
venturing. He has even written a book about joint venturing titled JV Secrets
where he stresses on this important online marketing area. Some of his joint
venture friends include Sean Wu, David Cavanagh, Mike Filsaime, Jay Conrad
Levinson, Michael Lee, Ewen Chia, Brian Garvin and others, about 50 in all.
It has taken Richard Quek all of a decade to come in the unshakeable position
that he is in today, but all he has been doing in these ten years is growing from
strength to strength. Today he has reached a diamond place in the MLM world,
an almost invincible position, and he can carry on even without actively
promoting his campaigns. There is a moral to be learnt here – MLM success
comes through diligent activity. And through partnering! That is something
Richard Quek has wholeheartedly believed in and implemented in his practices.
Another thing about Quek that must be observed is his fallback approach. He has
always kept options option. He has not gone only into MLM; he has also
educated himself with basic Internet marketing skills and carved a niche for
himself there too. At the same time, he is also passionate about motivation,
another area that has tremendous business potential.
Today, with more than ten paperback and electronic books, Richard Quek has
consolidated his position as a multilevel and Internet marketer several times
over. He enjoys what he is doing and enjoys the fruits of the same – something
that should be the attitude of every multilevel marketer.

Cucchiara, who are founding partners in this venture. Bo Short is a
highly successful MLM proponent himself, who has gone diamond with

- 31 -

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Tribble has a lot of blogs out there,
some of which are visited by hundreds of people per day and
populated with user-generated content. This is a major reason for
placing him on top of the heap.
Things like empowering self, branding from one's own name and
moneymaking opportunities for moms are motivational marketing
practices. Such motivational campaigns work immensely on the
Internet and Ty Tribble has become successful in part because he
understood that early on.
Also, some of the blogs inform beginners how they can start with their
marketing practices such as search engine optimizing their own blogs.

because he has been humble. He had tracked all the replies he got on

Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Randy Gage, a school dropout who now owns a Corvette, a Viper GTS,
a custom built Viper SRT and a Bentley Continental GT, is one of the
biggest rags-to-riches stories in the MLM world. MLM gurus speak
about Randy Gage when their downlines begin to feel frustrated about
what they are doing. Listening to Gage's exploits in multilevel
marketing and how he transformed from being a dishwasher to
becoming the Millionaire Messiah is one of the favorite pep talks that
MLM sponsors give whenever the chips begin to get down.
The reason for the nickname is Randy Gage's ardent belief that no
person in this world is meant to remain poor. Everyone has a right to
wealth just as they have a right to air, water and food. It is only that
people do not yet know the means to get wealth because it is not as
freely available as the other three necessities. Randy Gage's methods
have always been to coach people on how they can get at this wealth.
Randy Gage has been active in multilevel marketing since his early
days as a dishwasher. He was interested in home-based business
opportunities but like most people he did not think that these were
- 35 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Randy Gage's success story is the stuff MLM folklore is made up of.
With his several books and CDs on the Internet, he is quite visible
everywhere on the Internet. This Millionaire Messiah provides
inspiration to multilevel marketers continuously through both example
and precept.
- 36 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
Agel MLM is just breaking out into the US and Randy Gage is keeping
himself busy in recruiting new people to join the opportunity. He has
several sales pages on the Internet promoting the business and
inviting MLM leaders who could carry the mantle forward. This
Millionaire Messiah believes in the power of team strength to build
teams.
However, Agel has happened now. Randy Gage earned his popularity
much before that. He has been dynamic on the Internet promoting
himself through CDs, eBooks, courses, newsletters and the like. His
newsletter, Randy's Rants, has earned him a lot of opt ins, which he
has religiously pursued through email marketing and other methods.
He has written resources on self help, personal development, Internet
marketing, business building and network marketing. All of these
- 37 -
Going ‘Diamond’! - Stories Of Successful Networkers
project his heartfelt feeling that everyone has the right to earn wealth;
it is the means that they have to discover.
There are many hues to Randy Gage's personality and that is what has
shaped him to be what he is. Emulating him is a definite option for
amateur marketers, but just blindly following the way someone went is
not what it should be. Instead, lessons can be learnt from his
activities. It is interesting to see how Gage never let anything frighten
him – he broke new ground with each promotional campaign – be it
lead capturing or talk seminars – and let them mature till they began
to pay off. Such perseverance and experimental approach goes a long
way in raising the levels for MLM professionals.

grandchildren why you missed it?
